I can't say what the other two games will be. I only know about Edge of the Empire thus far. I can't comment on a game that doesn't exist.

Well, as I noted, Star Wars did update those tropes. 1940s era serialized Flash Gordon looks feeble compared to Star Wars, but all of the tropes were there. I could be misremembering this, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that Lucas did Star Wars because he couldn't get a licence to do...

I'm sorry to make you sad, Morrus, but again, everything you seem to like about Star Wars has been done at least as well (and often better) by some other setting, going back decades before Star Wars. And once more, on topic, I have no problem with you wanting to play a game without Jedi. I just...

Well, here again, we have a difference of opinion. Without the Jedi, the setting is absolutely generic. With the Jedi, it's Star Wars. And you're right, very little is original, but if anything in Star Wars was, it was the idea of bringing the warrior/monk archetype and planting it right at the...

Morrus, apparently the only scenes you ever saw of Jedi in Star Wars were those featuring Mace Windu. And if that's the case, I guess I can see your perspective. But if you've seen all six movies in their entirety and you don't think that the Jedi are a) not all about Drizzt with Purple Light...

I have a hard time understanding that. If you strip away jedi/force from Star Wars, then you strip away the single most distinctive thing about the setting/series. After all, if you take the first six movies as the center-piece of the entire SW Universe (which seems totally appropriate to me)...

There's nothing wrong with Han/Lando/Boba Fett type stories with no Force. Bu if that's the story I want to tell, I'd rather tell it in a different universe, like the Firefly universe, that's custom built for those kinds of tales.

Well, this has been an interesting thread to read. I'll just add two points to what some others have said. I'm also a person who wants his Jedi as an option in any Star Wars game, even a game that is conscientiously not focused on Jedi. The first point I would make is that most folks, like me...

Man what a golden age 2000-2001 seems to have been for WotC. A great crop of designers and a great game!

I have to say I always loved Alternity and wish it had gotten more love from WOTC, but they did give us a great setting with Dark*Matter, which I love. I do wish I could find the time and people to play with regularly.

I'd guess that the Freys, being from the Riverlands, worship the Seven. But I agree with Grue that it certainly seems among the nobility that most religious observance is somewhat pro forma in any case. As for pious characters of any kind, the Starks certainly seemed pious after their fashion...

Yes! It's true. I am the Lindburgh baby!

Triple Fantasy! TRIPLE FANTASY!

Aw, poor, misunderstood, evil, psychotic Belkar. I actually feel for the little dude.

Yeah, assuming that Moffett has this all tightly plotted (which, with some allowances for handwaving, I'm inclined to think he does), all of the elements of the prophecy ultimately need to be significant, but as of this moment there are still a lot of questions: 1. "On the Fields of...

I read it every day, have since it was Eric's page.

You did indeed, quite well.

There's a 20 on every die.

Phew. I think Rich needs to drop an in-joke about people worrying that would take forever.

In fairness, Rich did injure his thumb several months back and that's stymied some of his recent progress, plus I gather his overall health is not good. However, I'm sympathetic with the "get on with it!" spirit of the complaints. It would be great if he saved some of this side-stuff as bonus...
